David Gilmour has told how there are certain Pink Floyd songs he no longer wants to perform.

The singer and guitarist is due to perform several concerts later this year, after taking a break for the past eight years.

"There are songs from the past that I no longer feel comfortable singing," the 78-year-old told Mojo. "I love Run Like Hell. I loved the music I created for it, but all that 'You'd better run, run, run...' I now find that all rather, I don't know... a bit terrifying and violent."

He continued, "Another Brick In The Wall is another one I shan't be doing. I don't think I've done that with my own band, but I certainly did it in the post-Roger Pink Floyd, against my better judgment. The same with Money. I won't be doing that."

Fans can expect to hear some favourites during the shows - although they are the ones that David either wrote or feels a strong affiliation with. "I'm going to be sticking with the ones that are essentially my music, and I feel some ownership of. Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, maybe," he said.

David recently spoke about the decision to sell Pink Floyd's catalogue. They are reportedly in talks to sell to Sony Music for between $400 million (£300.11 million) and $500 million (£376.4 million).

"To be rid of the decision-making and the arguments that are involved with keeping it going is my dream," he told Rolling Stone.

It's believed the deal has become complicated after bandmate Roger Waters made political statements against Israel and Ukraine.

David has previously accused Roger of anti-Semitism.
